Street Sweeping

Overview

Medford's fall and spring street cleaning program is an essential public works activity that not only keeps our city looking cleaner, but reduces the risk of flooding and icing due to storm drain back-up. Given our harsh winters and severe weather that can bring on flash floods in a matter of minutes, the importance of this program cannot be understated .
